All My Mornings

Waking to a restlessness I know.

Cold and careless light stealing on strong.

Got to pick up what I can and go,

head on down the line that light has drawn.

All my mornings catch up to me at dawn.

I get so tired of asking for the ride,

holding out my hand, thumbing along,

asking who and what and where and why,

but all I know, the road keeps leading on.

All my mornings catch up to me at dawn.

Everything I wish I hadn't said,

every time I did somebody wrong,

I haven't gone far enough yet to forget.

It all comes back to me, shadows so long.

All my mornings catch up to me at dawn.

Many a mile to go today

and my borrowed time is spent and gone.

When I first set out upon this way

I thought that I could get free for a song.

All my mornings catch up to me at dawn.

There's a lyric video of this song which you can find here, and you can get this track from Amazon here. The rough cut video was posted on YouTube on 12/24/08 - click here to watch that video.
